6 Reasons to Short Housing Stocks

JJJTTT, hey if I were you don't short the common stock buy puts on the stock. That way you can limit your downside and never have to deal with borrowing issues. If your a retail investor you'll never get a borrow on something that should be shorted. The game is slighted away from your favor if your not a fund.(IMHO) Buy a far out PUT(time wise) and near were the stock is trading, you'll be happy you did if the stock goes against you in a big way.
